Should i get 358/2 Days early or late?

[xSoraKeyx]

Well i was wondering if i bought a Japan DSi with 358/ 2 Days could i play American games on the Japan DSi? Or should i just wait until the game actually comes out to America? :35:

 

[Crimson Crusader]

dosent matter to me im getting it the first day it comes out.

 

[Dawning Twilight]

i don't think i'll get it.

 

[Crimson Crusader]

i don't think i'll get it.

why not?

 

[Audo]

Yeah, he wasn't asking what you two are doing ¬.¬

A Japanese DSi is only in Japanese. Everything about it. Plus, the DSiWare is region locked, so you can only access the Japanese DSiShop.

Plus, it is unknown if DSi-Enhanced or DSi-Only Cards are also region locked or not. So, to be safe, you'd be better off just waiting.

 

[roxasisamazing]

im just gonna walkin EB games and buy it when it comes out in canada
you should do the same waitin wont hurt and you got the game in english

 

[Dawning Twilight]

why not?

A. my DS broke. if i got a new one it'd be a DSi
B. it's expensive
C. i'm currently nearing broke
D. i have a working PSP so i'll probably just get BBS

 

[King Sora X]

I think Audo told you your answer, japanese systems..only playable with japanese games..at the time of the release. >_>

 

[speedy931]

I think that DSI has limited zones so you must buy something that you can play backups and American games with Japanese games.

But still I think you should buy it when it comes

 

[Attemisc]

Waiting really shouldn't be too hard. If you just want the 358/2 Days design dsi, then go ahead, it's your money and it probably will never come out in America.

But if you really can't wait that long. kh-vids will likely have all the cutscenes sub-titled within a couple weeks after it's Japanese release.

Im Importing the Limited Edition DSI
But
Im Gonna Wait for Release For The Actual Game in America
Will
American Games Work on a Japanese DSI?
The Only Reason im Getting a DS Is For This Game

 

[Orion]

No, they won't work. All DSi's have region locking, so only American software and programs will work on an American DSi.

 

[TheFreeshooterII]

Well Ive Been Surfing the Internet
and Most Say That it has no Region Protection
i Need an official Answer?

 

[Orion]

It does have region protection. There just hasn't been much stuff developed yet to fully test that.

 

[TheFreeshooterII]

So....Theres No point in Getting the Limited Edition DS?

 

[Orion]

Not unless you intend to only play Japanese games and use Japanese applications. Not to mention possibly learn Japanese. Or try, and most likely fail, at removing the region-locking, something a fair few people have probably already tried.

 

[TheFreeshooterII]

Sigh.....
This is Really Upsetting Now

 

[TheFreeshooterII]

Just Found This!!!

"There are many different age requirements with games around the world. I’ve been involved with the industry body, and we’ve just had the Byron review, so it’s quite topical. As an industry, we are trying to take a responsible stance in that area, to make sure that we have people aware of what content they get, and that there is a certain amount of protection." -David Yarnton, Nintendo UK's General Manager.
​

Just remember, this is JUST for DSi-specific software! The hardware itself is not region-locked, so playing cross-regional DS games is still possible.

 

[kurokitsunefang]

but what's the point... the DSiware shop is region locked... so if there is DLC on anything u r screwed

 

[TheFreeshooterII]

I Cant see DLC Happening
However Have Forumlated my Plan
Im Going to Buy The Kingdom Hearts DSI
Then when the Game Comes out in Europe
Ill Buy a Regular DSI
SIMPLE!
